When Gu Qingzhou came out of the bathroom, her expression was as usual, her slender eyelashes were lightly covered, and her emotions were deeply restrained.

She has cried.

However, before crying this time, when she was held down by Si Xingpei, she had cried for a long time, so her eyes were red, nothing unusual.

She lay down to sleep.

There was no escape, because he couldn't escape, only by killing Si Xingpei would he have a chance to escape.

Si Xingpei hugged her from behind, hugging her tightly.

"Qingzhou, what kind of jewelry do you like?" Si Xingpei asked.

If you don't like diamonds, then change to something else, anyway, Young Master Si is rich.

Gu Qingzhou's heart is cold and her voice is cold, she has no emotions.

"I don't like any jewelry. Wearing jewelry is tacky, I can't stand it. I like money." Gu Qingzhou said, "Anyway, you are treating me as a trick girl. Just give me money next time!"

"Don't talk nonsense." He whispered, then kissed her earlobe, "You are not a trick girl, you are my cat!"

Gu Qingzhou felt cold in his heart and cold on his body.

A heart, cold as a stone, she couldn't make any ripples, let him hold her tightly.

"Qingzhou, do you want to marry me?" Si Xingpei asked suddenly.

He saw Gu Qingzhou's temper tantrum.

For some reason, he always felt that when she saw the diamond ring, although she froze, she was a little happy.

He wasn't sure if she was really happy.

When Gu Qingzhou cried, her feelings were real, but at other times, her expression subsided, and Si Xingpei couldn't guess what she was thinking.

"I don't want to!" Gu Qingzhou bit his lip tightly, "I would rather die than marry a pervert like you!"

Gu Qingzhou felt that he was cruel.

He never thought of marrying her, but he had to ask her such a question!

How do you want her to answer?

Seeing her embarrassed, even humble, does he have a sense of accomplishment?

He said, you are my cat.

Gu Qingzhou is just his pet.

She doesn't want to talk anymore.

Very tired today and in a bad mood, Gu Qingzhou fell asleep.

Si Xingpei thought about it for a long time.

When he got up early the next day, Gu Qingzhou opened his eyes, and Si Xingpei had already left.

She freshened up and changed into a cheongsam.

Half of Si Xingpei's closet was filled with cheongsams made of the size of the boat. There were twenty or thirty sets, and they were packed.

She picked a set at random, similar in color to the one she had yesterday.

When they went downstairs, Mrs. Zhu had already cooked breakfast and went home, only an adjutant was waiting.

The adjutant told Gu Qingzhou: "Last night, a batch of arms arrived at the dock, and the young marshal went to the camp overnight. In the past half month, the camp has been experimenting with new weapons, and the young marshal has no time to go back to the city, so let Miss Gu be careful, and what is the matter? Tell your subordinates."

"Thank you." Gu Qingzhou said.

She had a simple breakfast.

The adjutant wanted to see her off, but Gu Qingzhou disagreed, so he took the tram and returned to Gu's mansion.

Gu Mansion is now in a smoky atmosphere. Early this morning, Gu Guizhang accompanied the fourth concubine to the hospital. I heard that it was to check whether the fetus was healthy.

The women in the mansion Gu didn't quite understand these inspections, and they just secretly talked about the fourth aunt being too expensive.

When Gu Qingzhou came back, no one noticed.

When returning to her room, Gu Qingzhou opened her handbag, only to find that Si Xingpei put the diamond ring in her handbag.

Diamonds are much more expensive than gold, and this diamond ring may be worth five large yellow croakers.

"What I give you will always be yours, and I will never take it back." These are Si Xingpei's words, which are still in his ears.

The diamond ring was customized for Gu Qingzhou. Since he gave it, he will not take it back.

Gu Qingzhou went to the bank and put the ring in the safe.

Although she didn't really sleep with him, she stayed with him all night. This was the price he offered, and Gu Qingzhou sold herself.

Sell ​​it, sell it, it's worth more than cheap.

She is worth a diamond ring, five large yellow croakers, and can buy a lot of houses!

She looked at the diamond ring and remembered the warmth when she saw it for the first time, and tears almost came to her eyes.

And now, that little warmth has become the most embarrassing thing for her.

What qualifications does she have to think that Young Master Si will propose to her?

Even if he said he wanted to help her retire, he never thought of marrying her.

After closing the safe, Gu Qingzhou never thought about the diamond ring again.

She even wanted to sell it!

It's just that she has no way out for the time being.

Since then, she hasn't seen Si Xingpei for a while.

When I went to Si's house by chance, except for the old lady, I never saw anyone else in the Si's house.

At the end of the month, Huo Yuanjing called Gu Qingzhou and said, "Tomorrow is my birthday. My elder brother said to invite you and Luo Shui to come and play at home."

"Okay." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "I will definitely go tomorrow!"

Afterwards, Luo Shui also called Gu Qingzhou and asked her, "Qingzhou, what gift should we give to Xu Jing? The Huo family has everything."

"It's everything, so it doesn't matter what you give." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "What are you going to give?"

"I don't know, let's meet. Let's meet at the coffee shop on Notre Dame Road, okay?" Yan Luoshui said.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

The two meet and discuss what gift to give.

In the end, both Yan Luoshui and Gu Qingzhou felt that they came to bake a Western birthday cake for Huo Zunjing.

"You are too stingy!" Yan Wushao said beside them when they were making cakes, "How much is a cake worth?"

"Go away." Yan Luoshui pushed him.

"You covered me with flour!" Yan Wushao complained and walked away, then stood at the door and said, "I'm going too!"

"Zuo Jing didn't invite you." Gu Qingzhou said.

"Then I'm not invited, wouldn't it be more surprising?" Yan Wushao said.

"Look!" Gu Qingzhou kneaded a dough cake and showed it to Yan Wushao.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Wushao was puzzled.

"Fifth brother, your skin is thicker than this cake!" Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Yan Wushao was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

However, he couldn't beat Gu Qingzhou and Yan Luoshui, so he fled, and before leaving, he said, "Wait for me tomorrow!"

The next day, Gu Qingzhou and Yan Luoshui set off, but Yan Yiyuan had to rely on them.

Mrs. Yan said, "Take him with you, he is annoying me at home and gives me a headache."

When I got to Huo's house, I realized that Huo Zunjing only invited Gu Qingzhou and Yan Luoshui.

The Huo family also prepared some food and drinks for the birthday banquet.

The arrival of Yan Wushao made Huo Zhujing very uncomfortable.

Huo Yue was also present.

Now that Yan Wushao knew Huo Yue's identity, he was very cautious in front of Huo Yue, losing his former liveliness.

The banquet is very simple, like a few friends sitting together.

After the meal, Yan Luoshui went to the kitchen to teach Huo Yujing how to cook the sour plum soup. Yan Wushao also followed, leaving only Huo Yue and Gu Qingzhou in the entire hall.

"Do you like listening to Pingtan?" Huo Yue asked her, "I saw you a few days ago."

"I don't like it very much either. It just so happened that I was fine that day. I went out for a walk with my elder brother." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Huo Yue knew that her male companion was her brother.

Gu Qingzhou remembered the diamond ring in the safe. She hated it, so she asked Huo Yue, "Master Huo, do you have jewelry in your business?"

Huo Yue prepared a diamond bracelet to give to Gu Qingzhou, which was counted as a thank you last time.

He hadn't delivered yet, when Gu Qingzhou suddenly asked this, Huo Yue was slightly surprised and asked, "How many are there? What's the matter?"

"What price can a diamond ring be sold for now?" Gu Qingzhou asked again, "It's a finished product."

The price of a diamond ring is measured by the diamond that adorns it.

Just like the one that Si Xingpei bought last time, it is worth five large yellow croakers.

Others, maybe three or four small yellow croakers can be bought.

"Do you want to buy a ring?" Huo Yue said, "The more popular diamond jewelry these days are necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Rings are mostly used for marriage proposals..."

Gu Qingzhou's face turned pale.

It was the kind of pale, as if he had heard a terrible thing.

"If you like rings, it's better to buy gems. Do you like rubies?" Huo Yue comforted her, although he didn't know what happened to Gu Qingzhou's instant paleness.

"I don't like rings." Gu Qingzhou said.

Huo Yue was puzzled.

"I have a ring from the family. I want to sell it for money." Gu Qingzhou said, "Unfortunately, there is no way."

A family heirloom diamond ring?

Huo Yue said, "When it's convenient for you, bring it over and I'll take a look. The shop of the Green Gang will not press your price."

Gu Qingzhou nodded and said, "I'm not planning to sell it now, I'll sell it when I really run out of money someday."

"Alright." Huo Yue smiled.

Then, Yan Luoshui and Huo Zhujing cooked sour plum soup and served it with ice cubes, which interrupted Gu Qingzhou and Huo Yue's words.

Huo Yuanjing took out a small box, gave it to Gu Qingzhou and said, "Qingzhou, last time you cured my brother's illness, this bracelet is for you."

Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised: "Why did you give me a gift?"

This bracelet was bought by Huo Yue.

But Huo Yue gave it to Gu Qingzhou, which was a bit ambiguous, so he asked Huo Zhujing to give it.

"You saved my brother's life, a little gift, please accept it!" Huo Zunjing said.

Huo Yuanjing is not like other girls. She is more sensitive. If she doesn't accept it, she will feel that Gu Qingzhou doesn't regard her as a friend, so she has to accept it.

Yan Luoshui is not jealous, she knows Gu Qingzhou's kindness to Huo Yue.

She even helped Gu Qingzhou put it on.

Towards the afternoon, Huo Yue's concubine Mei Ying came and gave Huo Yuanjing a birthday present.

"Ajing, happy birthday." My concubine Mei Ying smiled.

Mei Ying was in good shape, wearing a snow-colored cheongsam embroidered with blooming flowers, and came in gracefully.

As soon as she entered the door, her concubine Mei Ying's eyes fell on Gu Qingzhou's bracelet.

Her expression suddenly changed.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know what to do, and hid his hands behind him for a while.

The concubine also knew that she had lost her way, and withdrew her eyes, but she was very shocked in her heart.

After Gu Qingzhou left, the concubine said to her trusted maid, "That Gu Qingzhou, you can't let her come to the door in the future!"

The maid was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter, concubine?"

"That bracelet was put on her hand!" The concubine's expression was gloomy and horrified, "It was actually put on her hand!"

The maid still didn't understand and said, "It's just a diamond bracelet. If you want, just go to the shop and get one. Lord Huo has always been generous to you."

"You don't understand, it's different!" My aunt Mei Ying bit her lower lip.

"Why is it different?" The maid asked confused by the concubine's words.
